I'm looking for as-cast diameters for the various Lee .38 caliber tumble lube molds. I would use clip-on wheel weight metal or maybe even stick-on WW metal.

Thanks,
MJ

Lee's claimed tolerances are from nominal diameter to +.003. In my experience, they run on the tight side of that. Using WW, most of the Lee moulds I have used have cast from the advertised diameter to a thou over that. I've never had one that cast .003 over, but I've had a couple that needed some lino in the mix to get up to advertised diameter.
